Joined a conference cal with CD1 coordinators and there is an update for travelling to NV. The NV folks are taking over, since there are so many groups going from CA, it has been getting unwieldy for them to coordinate through the local coordinators.
So now the procedure is to go to the Drive for Change site at http://my.barackobama.com/page/s/nvdfc and register there. Also, housing will no longer be arranged, unless you signed up for it already. So as I understand it you have to be able to pay for a hotel or stay with friends/family if you want to go.
That's the update. Keep making phone calls from home, attend a Debate Watch Party, or show up on Saturdays at Dem Headquarters at 2:30 pm to do phone banking or get new info.
Thanks, Jennifer
Hi all,
Just wanted to introduce myself, Jennifer Berman, new travel coordinator for Humboldt/Del Norte. Agreed to do it last week and am just familiar with what needs to be done.
I just set up a new event at my house this weekend - you should get a notification about it via the group listserves.
CAN ANYONE TRAVEL TO RENO THIS WEEKEND FOR CANVASSING? This is one of the weekends set aside for Northern California travelers.
You need to provide your own transportation and lodging, but I can help with coordination with folks in Reno.
Feel free to give folks you know my phone number/email and have them contact me.
I am excited to be in contact with all of you who have sustained this campaign until now - I am really feeling the urgency now!
Thanks, Jennifer 822-6171, casadelmar1234@sbcglobal.net
I just used the calling tool on my Obama site. It was great! It is fun now because it is just Democrats, getting them involved. I was able to contact about 5 people who wanted to get involved, travel etc. I did phone calling through MoveOn in 06 and was impressed with their calling tools. This is just as good, if not better.
I feel good knowing that the Obama campaign is this organized. It is really easy to do this phone calling from home. It will get harder as time goes on because they will probably have us calling undecided voters and there are more rejections with that. We have to remember it is a numbers game and a ground game at this point - just have to sift through millions of people to get those thousands out to mobilize others and vote the right way.
I am up for hosting a house party to show people how to do it from home - anyone else think that's a good idea?
